A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 30 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

A fix is available and has been applied in the Linux kernel. Users should update to a fixed kernel version containing the patch identified by the provided commit hashes. No additional mitigation is required once the system is updated.

Description

CVE-2026-68102 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's amdgpu driver where an aperture mapping leak occurs due to improper cleanup during driver unload. This leak causes conflicts in memory mapping types, leading to errors in device discovery on reload. The issue is fixed by switching to devres-managed mappings that guarantee cleanup regardless of driver state.

Impact

The vulnerability causes an aperture mapping leak that leads to memory type conflicts on reload, resulting in ioremap errors and failure of the amdgpu driver to discover the device properly. This can disrupt normal driver operation and device functionality on systems using affected versions.

Summary

The vulnerability in the Linux kernel's amdgpu driver arises because amdgpu_pci_remove() calls drm_dev_unplug() before driver finalization routines, causing drm_dev_enter() in amdgpu_ttm_fini() to always return false. Consequently, iounmap(aper_base_kaddr) is never called on normal driver unload, leaving an orphaned entry in the x86 PAT interval tree. This orphaned mapping causes a conflict between write-back (WB) and write-combining (WC) memory types on reload, resulting in ioremap errors and failure in device discovery. The fix involves using devres-managed mappings (devm_memremap and devm_ioremap_wc) to ensure proper cleanup at device removal time, eliminating orphaned PAT entries and related errors.
